In a desparate attempt to avoid the "to be purged list," here is my post. I'm so much better at lurking than participating! Since I should make this a useful post, beyond avoiding "purgement," my update is that I sold the ERA, totalled the Ferrari and bought a Coupe from Mid-States/Shell Valley. Anybody been to Nebraska recently? Very different place. The trip did give me a better appreciatiojn of the meaning of "gravel road." Their gravel roads seem to have the same right-of-way our secondary paved roads have, just no paved surfaces. The gravel is well maintained with few ruts or washboard areas. So far I can only say very good things about dealing with Bob Kallio and Rich Anderson. Truly top-notch guys. Anyhow, the Coupe should arrive late August/early September.
Here ends my justification for non-purging.
